Around the Fire Web

Comments Off

*  SConFire is keeping tabs on the continuing story about the air ambulance that crashed in South Carolina last weekend.  His growing list of updates can be followed on the website HERE.

*  The Fire Critic watched episode one of Trauma last night while participating in a live chat/podcast.  He’s got a unique take on the show and tosses out a few things to ponder about HERE.

*  STATter911 has an interesting look back at an incident that happened 20 years ago when an Amtrak train struck a fire engine in Catlett, Virginia.  Check it out HERE.

*  Firefighter Spot always has good videos aimed at training on his site.  But today Jason has two especially noteworthy videos related to building collapse during fires.  Make sure you check out the one showing a nitrous oxide-fueled fire that literally melts the metal trusses HERE.

*  FireRescue1 has an article about a New Jersey town that is having trouble selecting a fire chief because the dwindling number of volunteers don’t have enough experience.  Makes sense, considering what’s going on in the recruitment area these days.  Read the STORY.

*  Fossilmedic spent the afternoon watching this show, not as exciting as Trauma:
